On Main Street, yesterday ........ He's Back!
And it didn't take long for people to find Gary Camp and his Hot Dog Wagon!
Look for him there during lunchtimes and also on Wednesdays at the Farmer's Market in the Park!

A tiny glimpse of the "Secret Garden" on South Babbott Avenue.
Out at Gorton Lake, yesterday - a strange contraption powered by paddle wheels and prowling around the bogs!
It had been delivered to the lake by a Town of Brookfield truck, and that was where I found Mr. Mike Kuhn who explained what was going on. The "watercraft" is a Weed Harvester. It's owned by the State, but a grant to Madison County makes it available to lakes that are members of the Federation of Madison Lakes Association that have State Boat Launches. He wanted it known that the two men who had driven the Brookfield truck were actually on vacation but had volunteered their time for this job.
The Weed Harvester comes to Gorton Lake every year and, yesterday, would remove about 100 tons of undesirable vegetation. That clears channels around the bogs for paddlers and - according to one gentleman - fishing has improved a great deal since this opeation started, four or five years ago.
The "weeds," in turn, are all dumped on land owned by a lakeside resident who composts it and then lets other landowners use it for the flower and vegetable gardens.
